OK I've heard of Bar Rats but this is ridiculous...

I'd better be where I can Look AND Touch
From a review posted today about one of the lower-middle tier NOLA clubs:

[START QUOTE]
"Reviewed on: July 5, 2014
Visited on: Sunday Afternoon
Dancers on Shift: 6-10

Star_Rating_4 Dancers
Star_Rating_3 Value
Star_Rating_3 Atmosphere
Star_Rating_3_Half Overall

Stopped by here a few weeks back. This was my second visit here. I was drawn back by a couple of girls who were very friendly and not pushy. The dancers are pretty diverse, when I was there it was about half black with a couple of Latinas and Asians mixed in with a good number of white girls. All of them were good looking, but nobody was super hot or too ugly. Drinks and lap dances are on par with the rest of Bourbon St. price wise. The layout has been explained in other reviews, but you should watch out for the rats in the restroom and VIP rooms in the courtyard. My mileage was excellent regardless."
[END QUOTE]


Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop right there and back up, unflappable one: "...but you should watch out for the rats in the restroom and VIP rooms in the courtyard. My mileage was excellent regardless." Dunno 'bout y'all, and maybe it's just me who's a spoiled sybarite used to such luxuries as basic pest control, but if I'm running into RATS in the restroom and ESPECIALLY IN THE VIP ROOMS, that is going to kill any mood for enjoying "mileage": enough Cialis to send me into fibrillation is not going to bring back that lovin' feeling. I'm not going to have fun somewhere I'd worry about whether if I felt something tickling my ankle it may not be my dancer playing footsie, and in 2014 America maybe it should not be hantavirus or plague I should take measures against catching when paying for "VIP".

Then again at this and a couple other NOLA clubs the "courtyard rooms" were once upon a time the slave quarters or even the stables, so maybe I just can't appreciate the effort towards historic authenticity ;) .


Still and all the same, what would be that thing not related to the actual strip club functionality which IYO would, if encountered, mean "Welp, that's it, early to bed tonight."? Rats in VIP? Fire exit chained and padlocked? Travelers camping in the parking lot?

I’m not very finicky at all – if the dancers are hot enough I’ll stay and get my freak on.

The only possible thing I can think off that would make me wanna leave a SC even if the talent was good would be a shootout or an all out brawl.

I just rolls like that.

At Dixie Divas the rats dance on the pole while cockroaches watch.

Miss tempest, do I detect you being very slightly sarcastic there about Dixie Dive? ;D

I thank P_C for adding violence in/around the club (or just an atmosphere where impending violence seems to hang) as something else that will harsh my evening.

I suppose the point is that things that will gnaw at the back of my mind about how safe is it to be here will not make for a satisfying experience. I wonder what else has that sort of effect on different people.

I haven't been to the club in question in a few years, but it doesn't surprise me at all. The French Quarter and downtown New Orleans are pretty filthy and have a distinct odor to them. In fact, I remember reading SDT Waste & Debris has a scented spray they apply to the streets when cleaning to try to mask the odor. Because of the way the French Quarter is set up, garbage is tossed out in the street and is basically a Golden Corral for rats.

Do they test for boubonic plague?

Some of these reviews are aimed at dancers. Why? The pink site doesn't have a reliable reviews section. So, the next time any of you feel a review might be shill (and is written by a dancer) is most likely NOT aimed at customers.

why do I get the feeling that last post was intended for a different thread?

The rats just like to watch. They're not the type to join in.

IME with the kick ass reference.

Rats are nasty and can get large but I remember these rodents in Argentina that were Cocker Spaniel size. Not Capybaras but similar.
